Happy Pet, Peace of Mind for You🐾

Pet care experience

I’m a proud dog owner of 10+ years! I have experience caring for different breeds: from tiny chihuahuas to fluffy huskies, to energetic golden retrievers! Like your pup, I enjoy a slow walk around the neighborhood. I love being outdoors and soaking in the sun. My goal is to ensure your pet is safe, cuddled and loved while you are away. Consider my family & home, your pet’s new family & home, too. 🫶🏼 *Boarding Services: I do offer pickups/dropoffs! $25 if within 5 miles | Anything over 5 is a fee of $35.

Leslie is great! She kept us updated and we trusted Moxie was well taken care of while she was out with Leslie. Moxie can be a little reactive with other dogs and she handled it great! We had a happy and tired pup when we got back from our event.

Leslie did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! She truly went above and beyond — not only did she care for her so well, but she also picked up some of my packages for me. She always kept great communication, sent me photos and updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my puppy was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and attentive!
